A series of numbers for serious times: polling peril for Conservatives

Food for thought from the YouGov poll today. So 50% of people think the Tories are dithering and can't make their minds up on how to handle the crisis and 65% think the Tories are spending too much time blaming the Government and not enough time saying what they would do different.

And the Conservative front bench are obviously exuding the wrong vibe as 43% of those polled felt that party was "too complacent". Labour is doing better than the Conservatives on trust and looking after the interests of ordinary people.

Interesting numbers for serious times. Is this a sign that the public now thinks Cameron and his team are not serious enough? The numbers would suggest so.
